airsoft sniping

Step 2: Tactics

okay, now it's game day, you got your airsoft equiptment and you're ready to play. Now what? well if you are in a sniper team of 2 or more, start to co-ordinate with them. find out what they're wearing so you don't end up shooting them. Plan ambushes along a trail. Usually you put someone with an automatic in front to lead, and the rest follow behind. The front guy should kneel down and put his hand up if he thinks trouble's ahead. The rest of the team should lay down and get ready if he does this, or he starts shooting. if this happens, don't panic and run, this would defeat the whole purpose of an airsoft sniper. stay hidden until they get close. They will think that there was only one guy, and he ran off. then waste em. Stay down, don't get up unless you are behind cover. this tactic is one of the more dangerous ones, and you might get hit. If you are cautious,alone,accurate and patient you can pull off long range shots. Practice with your gun. make sure you are dead-on, every shot. wait for the wind to stop before making the shot. you might have to wait an hour or longer to accomplish a great shot like this, so you got to be patient. find a good vantage point. if there is a trail with trees, branches, and bushes about 10-20 feet away, this is your spot. make sure you can move inside a spot like this without making too much noise or risk being seen. then you got to wait a long time, until someone walks into the sights of your gun. I would try bolth ways to find what you're best at.

I normally put my snipers in foxholes about quarter of a mile away from the main fort, with the enemy fort being little over a mile away.

you cannot just wait for the wind to stop you can that would be best but depending on your position and the target's position. you should calculate the wind before firing, and compensate for it so the wind will push the pellet back to the target.

Snipers want to be fairly far away don't they. I thought that snipers worked in teams of two and didn't have automatics. Snipers shoot from long ranges not up close and 20 feet is close.

[zanki_kitsune]

that and you are not really supposed to use the snipers in close range because they cause a lot of pain up close. and yes the idea is a nice spot with a view of a large area in my opinion.

there is no such thing as a navy seal sniper the only snipers that went with the seal was the marine sniper because marines are mostly aquatic just like seal thats why they ride together

don't forget the cardinal rule, never shoot more than two shots from a single area,

[yourworstnightmare]

look im an ex Navy Seal.I was my platoons sniper.(one of them.there was two)our mission would be to clear the way for everyone else from long range but we carried autos in case the enemy got close(along with a pistol)warpig 137 is right about being still but never sit right next to your partner.to easy of a target for enemy snipers.just putting my 2 cents in.good instructable

SHUT UP. You are not an ex navy seal sniper. you asked a question right here on instructables.com and said you were in sixth grade. stop fooling yourself and trying to be cool on the internet. get a life

[geewizartcool]

hes an Internet navy seal. sort of like an Internet commando

[airsoftbeast40]

hahahahaha. just for that im gonna follow you(and cuz you have great ideas)

[WarPig137]

This would work if all had automatics, btw. If your sniping, a good tactic is to find a nice point with some concealment and a view of where the enemy will probably be. Sit, wait, watch, and DON'T MOVE

[geewizartcool]

eh actually i take a few shots and move if i have the cover. you dont want to be predictable. the true effective(ness?) of a sniper is to keep the enemys heads down and at a stand still. additionally the psychological effect of guys randomly dropping with no idea of where the shooter is more devastating than the actual kills

 On some fields there is a range limit for a sniper.
